A poignant commemoration was held for the first recipient of a posthumous induction, 1920 Olympic Games gold medallist Cecil Griffiths, whose award was collected by family members who proudly displayed the 400m specialist's Antwerp gold medal.

The night also saw Lifetime Achievement Awards given to two legendary figures in Welsh athletics.
